Preparing the Sweet Potato Hash

To make the preparation of this sweet potato breakfast hash 10x easier, I highly recommend dicing your sweet potatoes, bell pepper, and onion before cooking this one skillet meal!

Once you have all of your ingredients ready to go, it’s time to whip up this sweet potato hash for breakfast.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and add the turkey sausage to the skillet.

Cook the sausage until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.

Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.

Add in the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Next add a bit of water to the sweet potatoes, cover, and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until they begin to soften and turn golden brown.

Alternative Ways To Prepare The Sweet Potatoes:

Peel and dice your sweet potatoes and pop them in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes. You can then transfer them to the skillet and resume preparing this breakfast hash.

Add the peeled and diced sweet potatoes to a microwave-safe dish and add 1/4 cup of water to the dish. Cover and microwave on high for 6-8 minutes. At the 6-minute mark, pierce them with a fork or knife to make sure they are soft throughout. If not, microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes until they are softened.

Boiling the sweet potatoes is a great option if you’d like to also cook the turkey sausage and other veggies at the same time. Simply add the peeled and diced sweet potatoes to a pot of salted water for 8-10 minutes or until softened throughout. Drain and add to your turkey sausauge and veggies and cook the rest of your sweet potato breakfast hash as normal.

Once the potatoes are soft throughout, remove the lid, add in the onion, bell pepper, seasoning, and stir in. Cook until softened (about 3-4 minutes).

Add the sausage back into the skillet combining with the sweet potato, onion, and bell pepper.

Create 3 wells for your eggs and crack them inside of each well. Cook them up to your desired level of done-ness.

It should take around 5-7 minutes for a soft yolk or longer if you prefer fully cooked eggs. You could also scramble the eggs inside of the sweet potato hash as well if you don’t prefer sunny-side-up eggs.

Garnish your sweet potato breakfast hash with fresh parsley and enjoy this rich, protein-packed breakfast!

Simply scoop this sweet potato breakfast hash into a bowl, top with salsa and a bit of avocado, and you have the perfect breakfast for any day of the week.

This recipe is also great for meal prep when you’re short on time, but need a nutritious, delicious breakfast to get you through the day!

Storage and Reheating Instructions:

Although this sweet potato breakfast hash is best when enjoyed immediately after preparing, when stored properly it easily maintains its yummy flavor and is perfect for meal prep!

To store in the fridge:

Allow the sweet potato to cool completely to avoid any sweating or condensation once you transfer it into an air-tight container. Once placed in an air-tight container, it can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

To store in the freezer:

If you would like to make this sweet potato hash to freeze for later, allow it to cool completely. Then remove the hash from the skillet and spread it in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze it for about 1-2 hours until solid, then transfer it to a freezer-safe airtight container or a freezer bag.
This method works best when this recipe is made without the eggs and is doubled (or tripled). This also prevents the hash from clumping together, so that you can reheat exactly what you need.

This breakfast hash reheats extremely well and is great for breakfast all throughout the week!

**To reheat in the microwave (best for individual servings):**

Place an individual serving on a microwave-safe plate or bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel to prevent the hash from drying out and heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Continue to reheat until it is at your desired temperature. If reheating from frozen, be sure to allow it to thaw overnight in the fridge.

**To reheat in the oven (best for re-warming a large batch):**

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread hash in a single layer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated all the way through and crispy. Be sure to stir the hash halfway to ensure that it is heated evenly. If reheating in the oven from frozen, be sure to add an additional 5-7 minutes to the cooking time.

**To reheat in the skillet (best for maintaining a crispy texture):**

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1-2 tbsp of oil. Add in the sweet potato hash and cook until completely heated through and crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking. You can also cover the skillet for the first few minutes to ensure that the breakfast hash is evenly heated, then uncover and stir to get that crispy texture.
